2017 Whai Rawa KiwiSaver and Investor Choice Survey

In 2017 Whai Rawa carried out a survey to hear from whānau what their appetite is for a potential Ngāi Tahu KiwiSaver savings option. In addition to this we also asked whether different risk or fund options would be attractive to members (currently the Whai Rawa savings scheme has one fund or risk option; the Whai Rawa Conservative Fund).

We have received the report back from our researchers (a summary is below). Decision making is still underway at present, however, we look forward to keeping you updated as this mahi progresses.

From the Results

There are indications from the Survey that people forget some knowledge, particularly if it is not directly relevant to them or if it is not used regularly. This signals that information and educational tools need to be continually visible.

We encourage whānau to develop financial knowledge and understanding through the new Sorted website its associated booklet resources and via other useful websites as well as utilizing new tools for financial management such as those offered by many banks.
